Celebratory Run

For those that read this that don't know I changed jobs in December. My new job is demanding, mostly because I have open headcount - 1/2 my team is missing. Last week I hired a lead for 1 team and today I hired a lead for another team - both were key positions to fill because they will make my life so much easier. I fully realize I can't do everything. Just 1 more lead to hire and a couple developers and I'm home free...the dream team will be complete and we can make software magic. It is such a weight off my shoulders to have these 2 spots filled that I went for a celebratory run tonight.

After a quick email exchange with Rooney last week, I signed up for NJ shore marathon on May 2. That's just 6 weeks of training and 1 week taper, not much time but I am hoping to pull off an upset by cranking out a 3:55 marathon (supposed to be a flat course). So tonight I started, with a 5 miler @ 10 min pace. It hurt, my lungs burned, my bones creaked, I am starting from scratch here. Anyone that's had to start over like this knows there is only one thing that will get you through these times, and that is consistency.

So here's to consistency, and the almost-completed-dream-team that will set me free.
